Meet a Provider

What do you like most about your job?

I love the fact that I get to engage with a variety of different people from differing cultural backgrounds on a daily basis. The opportunity to meet a diverse group of people, and provide access to health care to people in remote/rural locations is awesome.

What is the most common piece of advice you give to your patients?

“Please do your exercises!” Getting the patient involved in the management of their injury is pivotal to recovery. I love getting people involved in their care, and helping to guide them to strengthen themselves to become a well conditioned machine.

How can workplaces get the most out of you?

Get me out onto the floor so I can get a good gauge of what staff are doing in their daily jobs. Truly understanding the biomechanics of each role allows for an extra degree of specificity when managing injured workers. 

How do you stay healthy?

I play soccer for a local club which includes regular training and game days each week. On my off days, I lift weights at the gym. I socialise with friends and family regularly, and make sure I set myself enough time each week to relax and recharge. Mental health is just as important as physical health. 

When you aren’t onsite, what are you doing? (eg project work, training, paperwork etc)

I work within the People and Culture team, so when I’m not onsite I’m usually collaborating with the rest of our team on a variety of projects. This often includes recruiting and assisting the training of new staff members and helping to assist our staff with any issues they may face. I love the collaborative aspect of my role, and enjoy problem-solving which is something I get to do every day.
